So in the end I chose a different strategy for banners that you may want to apply to your forum:

1. Create a new topic dedicated to holding the banner. It can be in any category. I usually prefer using #staff.
2. Tag the topic with #banner, so you can find them later.
3. Either make a short post, or, my usual, create an image with pixel size **627x123** (this way, the scrollbars won’t be triggered and it will appear “clean” in most situations) ; and use that image as the anchor for a link to the topic or link you want to highlight, e.g.,:

```plaintext
[![anchor image](/path/to/the/image.png)](/path/to/the/target/link)

```

This way you can keep a collection of banners that will stick to an acceptable format, without touching your existing topics.
